Probably Flame. A vigorous hybrid. A few years ago I had a lot of trouble growing my Zantedeschia in pots, the bulbs got too hot and foliage was stunted, etc. I had a group of pots on the side of the driveway and found a large plant with glorious flowers- it turned out that a Flame bulb had leaped out of it's pot and was sitting on top of the soil of the driveway and was growing away, perfectly happy!
